Services

SAVE TIME:

People are often reluctant to recycle because they have to sort different items into different bins. Not anymore! It all goes into the same bin. We do the sorting for you: one step, one bin.

REDUCE COSTS:

Why pay to have your recycling hauled away and buried in a landfill? With our Single Stream Recycling program, your fee need only cover the pick-up cost. Your material is recycled, not buried, eliminating disposal cost/fee!

SAVE NATURAL RESOURCES:

The EPA estimates that 80% of office trash is recyclable, but most ends up in a landfill. You can be an important part of the solution by using our Single Stream Recycling program. You keep your recyclables where they can do the most good, out of landfills, and in the hands of manufacturers making new products.
